    Talmud: No fair. I know someone working on a Sefer of that. He’s also working on popular super heroes in Halachah.

    The legend of King Arthur pulling the sword Excaliber out of the stone signifying that he was the true king of Camelot is based off the story of Moshe pulling the staff out of Yisro’s field.

    I cant remember who. but in navi there was someone with a beautiful daughter maybe achav? cant rlly remember. anyways, he locked her in a tower because she was so beautiful, and he went through a secret entrance only to give her food. This is where the modern day story of rapunzel comes from…..

    Indeed snow white. There is a anthology of Jewish folklore and “fairytale” out there with commentary at the back that show that most of the common tales are Jewish in origin. It is misplaced in my double row library, all I can remember is one of the editors is Dov Noy.
